This is a legendary beer destination in the lower Haight neighborhood of San Francisco. They have an absolutely outstanding draft list. Every time I visit San Francisco, I go here to at least buy a six pack of Pliny to bring home (which they ALWAYS have in bottles). This place is dingy and the bartenders' attitude borders on intentionally rude. If you read my reviews and thoughts on surly bartenders, you would think I would hate this place. I could see how people would find the service off-putting. But the bartenders are also good at reading their customers and they know when a person is a beer dork.

A must stop when in SF. Small, dark, dive bar feel to the place. In my only visit, the regular selection wasn't anything special. However, when you crack open a secret keg of Pliny the Younger and I can buy Cable Car there, then you get a 5 for selection in my book. As for the infamous bartenders...they're fine. I'd say a lot of people are babies. Yes, if you ask them a dumb question, they will treat you like you asked a dumb question. Personally, I enjoyed watching their various interactions.

I personally had no problems with the bartenders but could see trouble for clueless customers. Love the speed metal vibe while drinking some of the best beers in the world. They had Cable Car for $60 or $80/bottle depending on vintage.

I've been wanting to visit this place for a long time. It was everything I was looking for and more....Patrons and staff were awesome! Sat with one of the staff (steeler fan) and watched MNF-Falcons/Packers. Very knowledagble on beer and suggested some bay area breweries that I might like-Faction in Alameda-I was staying in east bay. It is def. worth the trip across the bay bridge.Forgot how good the Pliny was when fresh like that. Reaffirmed to me that it is the best.
